встречают по одёжке, провожают по уму

pretty is as pretty does (в зависимости от контекста (почти всегда с натяжкой): Изначально: "Handsome is as handsome does." В литературе встречается впервые у Чосера (G. Chaucer, "The Wife of Bath's Tale", 1387). Очень многозначная фраза (см. варианты перевода), но употребляется, обычно, в том смысле, что внешность/видимость не слишком важна по сравнению с поведением, либо обманчива. Vadim Rouminsky)
